For Samsung TVs compatible with Bixby, finding the Disney+ app will be easier than ever – with subscribers able to use their voice remote control to launch the app. In addition, customers will also be able to pause a program on their Smart TV and continue watching on their Smartphone, on-the-go, meaning that they will never need to miss their favourite moment.”
Compatible Samsung Smart TV customers will be able to sign up for a free seven-day trial directly on their connected TV device from March 24th, after which they will be charged £5.99 per month or £59.99 for an annual subscription. If a customer has signed up for Disney + on another device, they will only need to log into their account.
